Crissy, it sounds like you’re really creative with making the most of the space you have – even if it’s currently confined to your lap and your couch. A lot of people put off their creative passions until they “have the right space for it”. I’m glad to hear you’re just creating anyway, while planning your ideal space in your head. I think that’s fantastic.

Also, regarding kitties who like to play with jewelry supplies – have you seen this post here:
Cat Calamity in My Studio ?
In the comments below that post, there are lots of great ideas for keeping kitties loved and entertained – while also keeping them out of your jewelry stuff.

I also live in a 1 bedroom unit, which I sleep in the lounge as the bedroom is too full as a storage room, my home is very small and organizing my work space is very difficult, especially having no room for a table or chairs. My work area is my couch and a board on my knee. My two cats park up beside me and quite often try to grab wires and chains, and many times i have had things scatter across the floor because i have been too slow to close the lid of my ‘tool boxes’ full of beads and jewels. it’s certainly never boring… One of these days I may try and organize something along the lines of your pic up there, I’ve been struggling for months trying to figure how to do it, and often thought about shelves, although, I’m very limited even to do this.
Thank you for sharing, it definitely gives the mind another focus.

Regards, C.

It’s one of our bedrooms, and to begin, he took the closet and made a work area for me, but it’s long spread out into the gallery. I am constantly organizing and transitions things to and from one area to another.

I would like to just gut it, and start from scratch, lol! But I make it work for me, for now anyways, lol :-)!

Keep up the good organization skill, it helps in the long run to find things.

Thank you for sharing. My workspace is my dining table -:)) and a one cabinet in the kitchen for storage. I have few boxes and each box have certain items, findings, beads, work in progress, tools etc. all is required is to take the boxes out and when done, back to the cabinet. Works well for such tiny space.

Thanks for sharing this, you are giving me a lot of ideas. My studio is also in my bedroom and I’ve been finding it hard to keep it organized, now I see that it’s possible.

Thanks again
